Our Wedding

Where did we meet?

We met through bowling at Pacific Avenue Bowl and coincidently our houses where we lived when we were younger are about 5 minutes away from each other.

Our Love Story.

October 30th 2016 the day that changed the rest of our lives forever. We started our relationship and journey together as a couple. We came into our relationship already knowing that we weren’t dating just for fun. We built a foundation long before we started dating by becoming best friends first and then growing from there. Our 1 year anniversary we celebrated in San Francisco which is one reason we chose the city for our special day. A year and a half into our relationship and we got engaged with the help of our first daughter Penny Louise the Golden Retriever in our now blending family. Then taking another big step we welcomed Violet Kay Maya Lee the Labrador Retriever into our family on Mother’s Day in 2019. Shortly after that we moved into our first apartment together in the summer of 2019. Our love grows stronger with each and every day we are together. This journey of love is everything to us and we are excited to spend the rest of forever with each other.
